Best Internet Providers in San Luis Obispo, CA

AT&T Fiber, Spectrum, and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet are the best internet providers in San Luis Obispo. AT&T Fiber is the better option overall because it offers the fastest fiber internet connection in the area. AT&T Fiber customers will experience speeds up to 5 Gbps and only pay $55 per month for AT&T’s cheapest internet plan.

San Luis Obispo residents without access to AT&T can look to Spectrum instead. It provides download speeds up to 1 Gbps through its cable connection (wireless speeds may vary). Starting at $50 per month for 12 months, Spectrum is a great option that provides reliable coverage while delivering fast internet speeds.

If neither AT&T nor Spectrum are available, you may want to look into T-Mobile 5G Home Internet. This alternative to traditional ISPs does not require any existing infrastructure to install. Customers can expect wireless speeds between 33 and 182 Mbps for just $50 per month (with AutoPay).
